Meat is Murder

On the way home from school today we started talking about the food we eat. I think it started with the boys asking me if I liked to eat crab legs. I said I did like to eat crab legs. They wondered what happened to the crab once you cut off its legs. I told them that the crab is dead and then you eat the crab legs. Then that lead to who kills the crab and I told them people kill animals for you to eat. That got the boys thinking and P wondered if the chicken he ate was chicken from the farm. I told him yes it was and then he started to bawl that killing is wrong and was just horrified that he had been eating dead animals. He told me that he is never ever eating animals again. AJ wondered what steak was from so I told him it came from cows. PJ just kept crying and saying he didn't want us to talk about it anymore. After that talk I took them to the garden store to buy new veggies for our garden.
